    sundial, I hope this doesn't harm any of your spring peepers. Are they still peeping?

    What weird weather we've been having. It was 78 on Thursday and in the 30's the past 2 days. Next week will bring spring temps and next weekend will be in the 80's.
    I saw the snow was heading towards MO and AR. I'm glad the precip. stayed away from us, although we could use the moisture. Glad you're enjoying the snow! Great dog pics, too. A thread can never have enough dog pics!

    I was hoping for some pups romping in the snow pictures!! My terrible trio will have the opportunity to do so tomorrow, unfortunately.

    As for the weather, I saw on a news a while back that the Chinese were futilely seeding the clouds in the hopes for rain. I'm no meteorologist or scientist, but that surely couldn't impact the weather here, could it?

    Zen, crazy chick!

    That's a lot of snow in Memphis! Is that from this weekend? And yes, every thread could use a dog picture, for just the right panache!

    I am NOT enjoying the snow. Can't let the dogs out for long periods of time, because they get too cold. It's not deep enough for a snowman, and it's still here a day later, which is muy unusual for Arkansas snow. When it does melt (75 on Thursday, woot!) it will be a muddy mess, which means my carpets will be, too!

    Awwww, you guys! Ya call that snow? We haven't been getting a lot for the last couple of weeks (2"-6" here & there), but the 0 degrees we had Friday and the 7 degrees we're supposed to get today aren't really impacting the 2 feet we still have on the ground (that is after the melt-down we had 2 weeks ago that shrunk it). It's supposed to be in the low 30s later next week, which will be more normal. I've seen 2-foot storms and -4 here in early March, and I've seen 60 degrees. All depends on the year. Right now it's beautiful blue sky and 3 degrees. I'm looking out at all ice (occasional dark patches I think are cloud shadows but could be patches of water) as far as I can see on Lake Superior right now, and I can often see all the way to Isle Royale.

    Sorry - no current pix.

    No, they burrowed down before the snow.

    We got about 6 inches or so. It's the perfect snow too--not to wet and not too dry. Everything looked gorgeous this morning in the sunrise.

    Andrea--LOL!

    Tuck, remember back in '94 when some parts of Arkansas got about 12-14" snow--in March??

    We have about 7" in Richmond. This may be Shiloh's first snow, as he was transported from Texas by the rescue crew in October. He had a blast bounding in it this morning. I'll post pictures after my batteries recharge. It's beautiful!

    We got about 2" in SE Delaware so far. Got up at 6 and went to my PT appt, then came home to a msg on the machine that work is canx today.

    For 2" ???

    Well the roads ARE terrible but not impossible. Temps in the 20s and N winds to 40mph. It is definitely ugly out. 2 more inches in the forecast.

    I guess I'll do my taxes...
